Idirectmart Triangle Sun Shade Sail 16 Feet 5 Inches - Sand Color ( Was $89.00/$18.99)

Bogdanyi Services, LLC Bogdanyi Services,LL #2011-05-27

Just installed a 16' triangle shade over my above ground pool.
Everybody loves it. Picked up a pressure treated 6"x6"x16'post.
Installed stainless steel eye hooks on my fascia and post,stainless steel
1/8" cable through shade rings, and aluminum and steel turn buckels
on all three corners to tighten up shade.This shade is the cheap part of
the job as the post and mounting hardware was about $75.00 which will be
around forever.If you get cheaper hardware it will rust,break,....etc.
My fascia near pool is only about 7' in the air so I opted to put my 16'
post 5'in the ground and at slight angle away from the pool. This way when
you tighten up your cables/turn buckels your post will be level.I installed
the post eye hook at 11' high giving the sun shade the optimum sun blocking
opportunity from East to West.Living in Orlando, Fl. the summers are brutal.
I imagine the sun and weather will eat any shade I purchase up in a couple of
seasons. Next time I will be able to slack off the cables and hook a brand
new shade up in less than an hour. (It also helps to have a few buddies over when
taking the final slack out of the cables before tightening turn buckles). Also
do not tighten all the way on your first day. Let the sun and rain hit it for
a week, or wet it down with your hose. Tighten it down the rest of the way
after that and be careful not to over tighten/stretch it. Hope this Helps Yah.

Best deal on triangle shades Jack Whittier #2011-05-29

Hard to beat this product.

Appears to be of very similar fabric used on my Cooleroo products purchased, but much less expensive.

No hardware included, but that works for me as I prefer to choose my hardware.

Happy so far.

best value for this size L. Jones "calicopark #2011-04-25

great metal rings on the edges. I just used some carabiners and some hooks. Works great, lots of shade for the price, this is a great price for a large shade.

This sun sail did not disappoint. Great quality for the money. Fit the patio perfectly and serves shade well.

Great Product for a great price. P. Antle "Trishaa" #2011-06-17

We purchased this triangle shade for our dog pen. We have two large black labs who have no shade. The shade is really awesome. So awesome infact, that we purchased another one. The labs used to head back into their building soon after the sun came up but now laze under the sails most of the day. I don't have to rush to let them out of their pen so they can seek a cooler spot! Very sturdy material and for me, the triangle fasteners in each corner were perfect. All we purchased were two large hooks to screw into the building and we already had the fence posts. The rope that came with each sail worked beautifully. I highly recommend these.

Great for the money Angela J. Rebennack #2011-05-13

This is a great shade, especially for the low cost.

I do recommend buying better ties for it. It comes with cheap white nylon rope, which, for long-term use, looks pretty tacky. We used wire and it looks much better. Also, be sure to buy hardware, this does not come with any.

Good Product gdenton #2011-08-30

I was really impressed by the build quality for this product, especially for the price. It arrived on time and complete. I found it was easy to hang up even by myself. It works perfect.

SHADE Brian Knoch #2011-08-24

This was exactly what I thought it was going to be. It provides good shade for my dog and plants on the deck

Great shade rebecca pierce #2011-08-12

Purchased three shades initially. They looked great overlapped and decided to add two more. One shade wouldn't have worked because of their shape. Wasn't too thrilled about the color initially, but it blends in nicely. Sails provide lots of shade.

Not as shady as I expected M.N. #2011-07-27

I already had a 10'x10' triangular shade sail, but needed a bigger one. This one fits the bill and is well made, but does let a little more light through than the previous one.

Quality & price - I'd buy again angel928 #2011-07-20

Can't speak to longevity quite yet, but so far it appears a good quality item and I've had no issues with it. I did use the supplied lengths of synthetic rope to tie two of the shade vertices on to boat style tie off cleats which I attached to the side off the house. The final corner was the challenge since I didn't want to plant a post in the middle of my yard. I decided to use 1/16" aircraft cable with appropriate thimbles and clips attached to the final triangle vertice and tied it back to a tree in the rear of the yard approx. 65' away. The cable is strong enough and fine enough that it really doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like a lone post in the middle of the yard would. I've thought about buying another one for more shade. The biggest consideration is making sure you think through where your attachment points will be. Not as easy to plop in as an umbrella but muy cheaper and it doesn't take up space, in my case on the deck.

Sun Shade P. Edge #2011-07-16

The sun shade blocks the sun as advertised. It's unique shape added a bit of "drama" to the backyard. We did buy different line to attach to the house. We felt it made the shade structure more durable to withstand some of our Texas wind.

Made in the Shade Steve Kutney #2011-07-10

Well made shade has done wonders for my deck. As each side is 16.5 feet, the 'height' is just over 14 feet (do the math). The coverage area can be extended with the included nylon rope. I'm happy with this purchase.

REALLY GREAT! Emily #2011-09-01

Easy to installed and operated. Kevin N. Ho "BigDog" #2011-07-22

We live in central Texas with 104 degrees. This help a lots. Our kois, plants, and us loved them. Thanks

Waiting on Hardware L. Syrena #2011-03-23

For the price, the item seems pretty descent. However, the package came with missing hardware and no instructions (putting it together seems pretty self explanatory though). Right now, I am waiting for the seller to respond and see how they take care of the situation. I will update this review in the future.
Update: Seller was prompt to answer my email and is mailing the hardware. Looking forward to putting shade up. Will add on to review in future once shade is in place.

No hardware, no instructions! Cville #2011-04-21

i can't rate the item itself, but only the fact that I received no instructions or hardware for this item! I had workers here to assemble it upon arrival, only to find that the important hardware was missing. I did run out to a store to buy some, but it cost nearly as much as the shade itself! I read the previous review stating the same issue, so I thought that the seller would have fixed this issue before sending another shade out. no such luck. I would definitely just get the more expensive shades and have the right materials, than settle with this seller. I am waiting to hear a response from them to see if they can reimburse me for the hardware I had to purchase, travel, and frustration costs. I will update accordingly.
